I'm 26 y/o, 5'4". 120 lbs. I have always been extremely self concious about the size of my breasts (I'm 34AA shooting for 34 C) and always dreamed of having bigger, fuller breasts and finally that opportunity has come to knock on my door. I get very nervious thinking about going under the knife and being put to sleep, but I can wait for all this to be over and finally be able to completely fill up a bra and not be shy and self conscious about my breast size. I love my body but I have always felt unhappy about my breasts.
I have my pre-op this saturday and my surgery is scheduled for April 13th, Im just nervious thinking about the recovery time, if I will be able to go back to work in a few days, I have an office job, but Im very active love working out spinning, boxing, zumba, cardio classes and I know that will have to wait a few months perhaps, does anyone have any advices they can give me for the recovery time, I've heard about getting a wedge pillow so I wont' roll all over my bed after surgery and button up pjs, but are there any other tips from ladies who have already been trhough this? any relaxation advice pre surgery I know I'm going to get super nervious! lol!! I would greatly appreciate any imput about going throught his.

Also, my hubby will be working on the day of the surgery so I'm going to be home alone, any tips on how to make it easier for me to survive the first day or do you just sleep for the rest of the day? I know I need to have things handy, maybe prepare food before hand and just have everything near me in case I can't get off of bed...hmm I really don't know what to expect after I get home from surgery =/

I needed help getting out of bed...even being propped up it was hard to do. I loved my chapstick. Water, water, water! If I think of anything else, I'll let you know. :)
I hope this made sense! I am still taking a little bit of medication!
So I had my prreop on Saturday and we went over...
I am getting nervous about the surgery, and I had a minor anxiety attack at 3 am today, woke up thinking, what if this isn't really what I want? or what if after the surgery I regret it? I guess it's just the nervousness that is making me second guess myself. Ahh Friday can't come soon enough, I have to start getting everything ready and make sure my place is clean and I have everything handy and ready for after the surgery, I guess I overthink everything way too much hehe! Thank goodness for sites like this I keep reading the blogs to give me courage and inspire me, I know things we'll be ok and I will finally be able to feel confident about my looks.
